At present, it has been the marathon election session within party circles in BJP, from ward to national level. After the recently concluded election of ward chiefs in Nagpur, the presidents at divisional level in the party were unanimously elected. A meeting of active party workers was conducted at Shikshak Sahakari Bank hall near Gandhi Sagar lake to elect city’s new party president.

After no new name came in, the election officer Vijay Ghodmare announced Krishna Khopde as Nagpur City’s BJP President for the second time. The decision was lauded by all the party members. The women front then accorded floral felicitation to Khopde.
